Abstract
|
|
|
|
Endogenous endophthalmitis is a sight-threatening ophthalmic emergency that requires vitrectomy unless prompt treatment is undertaken. It is usually caused by hematogenous spread from a distant endogenous focus of infection. We treated a patient with endogenous endophthalmitis who also had prostate and perianal abscesses caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. Clinicians should entertain the possibility of endogenous endophthalmitis if a patient with a urologic disease such as a prostate abscess or acute prostatitis resulting in bacteremia complains of ophthalmologic symptoms.
